Tutorial 1

This document contains 10 questions regarding hydraulics and pneumatics concepts. It provides calculations related to fluid pressure, density, specific gravity, flow rate, and velocity. The questions cover topics like computing pressure under a piston, determining density and specific weight of a fluid, calculating force and area ratios in a hydraulic jack, and measuring flow rate using a Venturi tube. An engineering lecturer named Dr. Amr Rabie is providing the questions for a course on mechatronics being taken in the summer 2021-2022 semester.

Suppose the device is used as a service station to measure the flow rate of gasoline
(ρ = 700 * 102 kg/m3) through a hose having an outlet radius of 1.2 cm. if the
difference in pressure is measured to be P1 – P2 =1.20 kPa and the radius of the
inlet tube to the meter is 2.40 cm.
